Stess's Journal

So my dad asked me to work on this logo/letterhead design for this Healthcare Benefits thing. The marketing guy in his office had done something, and it looked kinda ok, but I worked on it some more and made it better. And now my dad wants me to go into his office and PRESENT it to his office. OMG!

So that's exciting. I'm going in with him on Friday, which means I have a few more days to work on some ideas for the rest of the packet that will be sent with the cover letter.

So yay! This could be really great for me to have an actual corporate piece, professionally printed and everything. So excited! Wish me luck for Friday!

The Katy and I are going to LR for a final hurrah of fun times. Two more days until I leave!!!

It's really weird to be in Searcy when everyone is gone. And I definitely think my next door neighbors don't realize I'm still there, because they are loud. All the time. Slamming doors and...other things...

ANYWAY, internship is almost over and I'm kinda sad, it's been fun. I've enjoyed working with all these people.

But I did decide something yesterday. We had this brochure for the International Studies programs, that was obviously either designed by an advertising major, or a very young graphic design major because there were a lot of things wrong - and it was definitely a student sort of thing. Anyway, I was analyzing and critiqueing it right there as we were cutting it, and Jason was like, "You're good at that. You should teach it." And I said, "Yeah, that's what I want to do." And I realized - it really is. Like, not just as an afterthought. I really am sort of thinking about it - a lot sooner than I was going to - maybe even doing a grad school thing so I can teach high school or college. *shrug* We'll see. But I'm definitely going to do it. Someday.

Anyway, time to go! See you kids later.

So...I stayed up til 3:30 working on my self-promo, finally went to sleep because I couldn't read anymore for my internship, and missed both of my alarms, woke up when Ash called me at 9am and had definitely missed my biology final. Sigh. It's ok, I think I'll still end with a D. And I talked to my graphic design professor today and I'm going to pass his class, but he was really concerned that I was sort of falling off the bandwagon this semester, which is totally true. Hopefully going home and having my mom to keep me accountable again will help keep me in focus. Must needs get my life in order. Ok, time to go to work, because the sooner I get off work, the sooner I am totally having a PARTY at my house tonight. PS if you read this, you're so invited, at 7:30, but...just to warn you there will be...um...non-harding appropriate beverages...yeah...hey I'm graduating leave me alone. OH and how excited am I about the new 6-icon for free accounts? Very. When I have the chance, look for fun new iconage to appear soon.
